Live beautifully in Oosterpark, on freehold land.
Situated by the charming Oosterpark, closeby the dynamic city center of Amsterdam, this four-room apartment spanning 112m2 offers comfortable living. This apartment on freehold land combines the charm of nostalgic yesteryears and modern amenities.
With two bedrooms, a south-facing balcony, and a stunning view of Oosterpark and the Tropen Museum, this is the perfect location for a tranquil spot in the city.
It is ideally situated between the atmospherically charming (gezellig) Watergraafsmeer and the historic Plantagebuurt, with cultural attractions such as the Artis and the Hortus Botanicus within walking distance.
Enjoy the serene tranquility at the back, overlooking the garden side of the so-called ‘velvet end’ of the Tweede Oosterparkstraat, a unique area in the East with a rich history. Privacy is a distinctive luxury of this apartment.
The buildings from the Linnaeusstraat to the Witsenhuis were originally built as studio residences for artists and have housed many famous artists, poets and writers. The rich history is reflected in the apartment. Stunning details such as the original stained glass windows (set between double glazing during the renovation in 2000), support beams, high ceilings (2.92 meters), and a maple wooden floor give the apartment character.
Upon entering through a private entrance on the ground floor, an elegant staircase leads to the hallway on the second floor. At the front is a spacious Bulthaup kitchen with an island and dining area. The large windows with the original stained glass offer a stunning view of Oosterpark.
En-suite doors provide access to the living room, which is bathed in natural light thanks to the large windows. The cozy wood stove adds extra charm to the spacious living room. Additionally, there’s a toilet on this floor.
